Although I enjoyed this book very much I didn't think it was ever going to end. Those were some of the most densely-written 341 pages I have ever come across. There is so much narrative and so little conversation that it seems to drag on forever at times, but the backstories of the main characters, as well as, it seems, anyone who ever stepped foot in Paris, Arkansas, lend a true charm and deep-rooted history to the story. The engagement of Elizabeth and Luke is a very small part of the entire book as it deals primarily with the circle of friends, their pasts and present interactions, and the consequences of their decisions. Wood is mostly likeable although hugely flawed when it comes to Milan and Duff. Duff is probably the most selfish character I have come across in a story. Milan seems like a fashionable doormat sometimes but she is inwardly the strongest character in the book. Mavis is loud, brash and definitely the comic relief. Earl and Jeter are the perfect best friends who, although they love Wood, know he is treading on thin ice and have no problems telling him so. These are very interesting and intricately detailed characters that I enjoyed getting to know.
